A Dragon's Christmas - POE5, MFH VII, TRH II Hunts

Oneiria
felt awkward without her usual wings and teeth. She always felt awkward in her
human form, that tiny two-legged shape was more a burden than a pleasure, so
slow, so weak. Yet… Prince Talias, her fiancé, had never seen her in her real
form, a magnificent red-and-gold dragon. Dearest Talias, he wanted to marry
her, and he intended to break the news with his family at Christmas Eve... and
what could Oneiria do? She would play along, she indeed liked Talias quite
much, he was handsome, patient and generous.

Christmas Eve...
Oneiria remembered those evenings with her own family, the feast, the fun, the
laughter. Her folk was gone by now, but she still could hear the chatter and the
music, her little brothers howling and giggling, and she still could smell the delicious
roast her mother used to prepare. Mmmmm... the roast. Maybe she could have that
this Christmas. Talias and his family were well fed, nice people, she recalled.
Oneiria softly cackled and her golden eyes twinkled ominously. Christmas time
wasn’t that ugly, after all.

December is
THE hunting season in SL, so many generous and talented designers shower you
with gifts at Christmas time, and what can you do? You’re forced to pick what you
like most, which doesn’t mean that the other gifts are worthless or ugly...
only that you, one little blogger, do indeed have limited time to show the
world one small slice of SL creativity. So, where to begin?

Eyes:
Sterling Artistry Feral Eyes “Brandy” - camping prize (0 L$). It looks like Silverr
Andel is back to SL after months and months of absence, which is wonderful
news! You can pick up the monthly gifts and a big box of lovely Christmas surprises
at his good olde shoppe at Porcupine.

Poses:
Exposeur - Advent Gift No. 7 (0 L$). I hope it’s still available; and if not,
there will be another package of lovely poses for tomorrow in RubyStarlight Writer's shop.
